GAA: English 'relishing' Croker replay

Tipperary senior hurling manager Nicky English has said that he was 'quite happy' with the draw in the Guinness All-Ireland semi-final against Wexford on Sunday.

Furthermore, his charges are relishing the return to Croke Park for the replay on Saturday - despite their injury worries.

"At the end of the game, we were happy with the draw. We conceded goals that we would not be happy with, but having said that, Wexford showed great heart and application.

"All the 50-50 balls were being won by them at the end of the game.

"We have plenty to work on and we are doing that. All of us are relishing the challenge of going back to Croke Park again on Saturday," he said.

English names his side after training tomorrow evening.

Doubts surround the availability of Mullinahone trio Brian O'Meara (ribs), Paul Kelly (hamstring) and his brother Eoin Kelly (dead leg).

All three will be tested rigorously prior to selection.
